Romania Day 4

Moving on to Day 4

I awoke to a freezing room (just the way I like it). I snuggled under the covers to stay warm while Merri finished her shower.

I got ready in just about 10 minutes and made my way up to breakfast at 7:15 AM.

After a great meal we all headed down to the clinic to begin the week =)

We all gathered in a circle to pray and began.

The clinic doors opened at 8:15 AM.

Dr. Bush, Becki, and I were introduced to our translator Diana (who I mentioned yesterday).

We were given our first patient and by the third we were a fine tuned machine.

Here I am celebrating Dr. Bush's extraction!

We got to work on Esther (Dr. Debbie and I worked on her last year). It was great to see her again along with the rest of her family.

Remember the guest pastor I mentioned yesterday?

Esther is his daughter.

Here is Kerri cleaning his teeth.

and here is Tamara cleaning his wife's teeth

...and Cristi doing a bit of modeling

While we worked on a lady, her cute daughter played in the waiting room.

Peggy bounced a ball back and forth with her.

the face of an angel!

At some point after lunch, the pastor and his family came to say goodbye.

I did know they had been staying in the clinic so I realized a room would be opening up. I asked Kerri if I could have the room and voila...it was mine.

I moved my stuff and had my own room again.

hello new room!

hello new bathroom!

After a hard day's work, we headed out to dinner.

The selection of the night: Seaman's Club
